Surely you jest.

I’m a pretty big fish. No discount offered, at least not at this early stage.

Lots of interesting surprise bling spots on this bad boy, but relatively subtle at the same time. Really happy to have it.















It looks amazing on you. What an enabler you are. Enjoy it to the max

Here’s my take.

When it comes to the bluesy, I am much more a fan of the solid than the two tone. The two tone is just too loud for me. My solid gold Bluesy is a bit more subtle as stupid as that sounds.

As far as the rose gold goes, on this one, the full rose gold was just too much rose gold. Way too jewelry like. To me. The SS mixed in gives it more of a sport feel.

I would never own a full rose gold anything. Be it an AP or a Rolex or whatever. Quite honestly, I’m not a two-tone guy at all. But with the rose gold, it’s just more subtle and it works.

Kind of a fascinating sidenote. Even my wife said she liked it, which is rare because she normally couldn’t give a damn. She liked the rose gold tone of it, not too pink.

She also asked me why I got another Rolex, I told her it’s to celebrate Mother’s Day. Duh.

Trav.....let’s get together for a drink, just because....

Bring that deep sea beast with that fancy ass wide new bracelet, and we’ll make fun of my Cameron hanging on for dear life on its tiny girly bracelet.

Another thought. I have always, always loved rose gold hands. Rose gold is so damn legible on a black background. Panerai 372, tudor B.B. red, etc. No different here. Super legible.

That's a great data point. Legibility is often overlooked. Looking forward to this one for sure.

Fantastic photos. Thanks for sharing.

I’m trying to convince myself that I need a second GMT in the stable to complement my BLNR. More photos like this and it will be clear pretty soon...

Congrats on the incoming!

Thanks for your impressions, there are many of us waiting to see these in person before making up our minds. And another great excuse to add to the list!

Congrats on a gorgeous watch. Curious whether you got it through AD or through DavidSW? If through AD it means there is hope these have started flowing in.

In any case, it is a beautiful watch and even the full rose gold works, with the color of the bezel.

I think it will be very popular amongst the ladies, the full RG version. Earlier today I got this picture follows by text completely out of nowhere from my wife! LOL!!
